Back from skiing!

I've just spent a few wonderful days in Fieberbrunn in Austria. It snowed almost constantly, so conditions were perfect for falling over safely into heaps of powdery snow. It is 5 years since I last went skiing, so I started again as a beginner, but by the second afternoon, I was coming down a blue run. Skiing is a brilliant way to push yourself outside comfort zones - repeatedly. Absolutely every task, from getting going on a drag lift, staying on it, then exiting safely, then skiing down again - each moment is another stretch, which moves you forward another notch. There is only one way to get better and that is to tackle something that doesn't initially feel comfortable... a great metaphor for making progress elsewhere in life!
